Black Trail In The Gulf
digital mixed media
Ahhh yes the TRAIL of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. It was the first thing I thought about when the word trail came up. I have to admit I've been avoiding the headlines about this oil spill as to not let this disaster get to me. I don't mean to be ignorant I just can't deal with it emotionally. However, this weeks word lead me to finally take the time and read about this mess. {sigh} and so... as I knew I would be, I am heartbroken thinking about the helpless and innocent wildlife. This is my work, my vision of this nightmare...the Black Trail In The Gulf.
